With an almost religious meaning, El Petit De Cal Eril delves into the bone marrow of emotions more intimately human and exits with the right balance between nostalgia and optimism, serenity and hope. His latest album, Vol i Dol (2010), combines folk spirit, drops of psychedelia and above all, their own label, maybe it's because of the rural optimism, bubblegum smell and the noise of tractors of the Segarra, which is where Joan Pons was born, voice and spirit of the band.

R. Lee
El Petit De Cal Eril Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

diu que l'ha vist i està sonat
jo no ho crec pas
tocat de l'ala, il•luminat
ho veu tot clar
amb un embut es va empassar
tot el que ara sap
i quan ell vol ho deixa anar
i et quedes clavat

"no és pas res de nou
això ho sap tothom!"
quan diu que beu és que ho ha vist
i ja ho ha oblidat
quan no diu res ho té tot dit
i es posa a ballar
si et mira als ulls veus que en el fons
és el que hi ha
entre tu i ell hi ha un forat
que ell ja va saltar

"no és pas res de nou
això ho sap tothom!"

Overall Meaning

The song "R. Lee" by El Petit De Cal Eril is a contemplative piece about an individual who claims to have seen and experienced things beyond what others have. The singer expresses skepticism towards this individual, as they are portrayed as being "out of it" and "illuminated" in a way that suggests they might not be entirely trustworthy. The individual claims to have swallowed everything they now know, and can impart this knowledge at will, leaving others stunned. However, the singer implies that this individual's experiences are not unique, and that others are aware of similar incidents.

The singer goes on to suggest that the individual's behavior is not completely unusual, and their claims to have forgotten things they have seen and experienced are not necessarily significant. At times, this person becomes completely silent, but their presence alone is enough to convey deeper meaning; they begin to dance, and those around them can sense a kind of depth and intensity in their presence that is difficult to comprehend. The singer implies that there is a chasm between this person and others, but that this person has already leapt into it, leaving others behind.

Overall, the lyrics of "R. Lee" seem to suggest that there are those who have experienced something deeper and more profound than the average person. These individuals may seem strange and otherworldly, but their experiences are not entirely unique. There is a sense of mystery and wonder around these people, and their behavior is marked by a sense of otherworldliness that can be difficult to grasp for those who have not experienced it.
